Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the exercise bike such a popular piece of fitness equipment?
Why is the exercise bike such a popular piece of fitness equipment?
For starters, exercise bikes are easy to use and very effective. They're also practical as they don’t take up as much space as other types of fitness machines. And, last but not least, buying one doesn't have to break the bank. In our exercise bike buyers guide below we look at how to choose the right model for you, explaining some of the important things to consider before pressing that buy button.
What are the different types of exercise bikes, and which one is best for me?
What are the different types of exercise bikes, and which one is best for me?
There are 3 types of exercise bikes: upright, recumbent and Indoor cycles. Upright bikes are supposed to replicate the feeling of an outdoor bike with their upright position. These are available at various price ranges to suit different budgets. The recumbent bike offers a reclined seat with back support, which aims to target your glutes and hamstrings. This is an ideal bike for those who are looking for lower body intensity and comfort. This is the perfect choice for injury recovery. Indoor cycles with chain or belt systems, mimic outdoor riding and are best for cyclists focused on performance and interval training.
How do I choose the right exercise bike based on my needs and budget?
How do I choose the right exercise bike based on my needs and budget?
Choosing a bike type that best suits your needs whilst keeping in your budget can seem stressful. But we’ve got you covered! Our prices range from under £100 to over £5000 for commercial-quality machines. It’s important to consider the resistance system, with most upright and recumbent bikes offering magnetic resistance, while indoor bikes often use manual dials. The flywheel weight also affects the smoothness of your ride, with heavier flywheels providing a better experience. To keep your workout routine engaging, you can choose from a variety of workout programmes.
What extra features should I look for in an exercise bike?
What extra features should I look for in an exercise bike?
User profiles, heart rate measurement, tablet and smartphone connectivity, interactive functions like iFit and other workout apps via Bluetooth, speakers and audio inputs are all available on certain bikes. These are by no means essential but can enhance your sessions and encourage you to use your bike more. It’s worth remembering that some manufacturers will focus on the quality of the parts and build rather than extra features.
How can I store an exercise bike if I have limited space?
How can I store an exercise bike if I have limited space?
Exercise bikes don’t generally weigh as much as other cardio equipment, but even so, they won’t fit in most cupboards. That is unless you choose a folding bike. These are extremely practical where space is limited as they are light and fold, so you can store them away when not in use and quickly and easily place them in the desired location when you’re ready to ride.
